Bug#466784: about closing this bug

I've made different tests with some FAT32 devices on different systems
and file-browsers: the problem persist with all of them.
Seems to be unsolvable...
I already receive a warning when I have a folder called "Data" and want
to create a new folder called "DatA": the operation is impossible.
BUT I do not receive any warning about possible data loss in the
automatic renaming of folder with ALL capital-letters (eg: "DATA"
automatic became "data", but "Data" is not changed).
So I propose, in nautilus and as many file-manager as possible, to make
a warning appears the firs time I try to write data on devices with such
filesystem, informing me that this is a not a perfect filesystem and can
cause data loss in folder named with all capital-letters.
Just a warning... to know the risk.
This bug could be tagged wishlist, if you want; but I don't think it
should be closed untill a warning/explanation is shown to users the
first time they use such filesystems.

Regards,
